Speaker broke once again...

Val,

You hit right on the head why any driver over 12" should be rotated every couple of years!

Congrats BTW, I love marriage!
 
I have heard of speaker rotating also because of sag, especially the heavier cones. Some of the older ones with the doped surrounds should be rotated 1/4 turn periodically to keep it from all running to the bottom over the years.
 
I operate similar to the way Cam does, And i notice lately my subs don't sound quite as good as they did 2 years ago..

I figure they are just tired. Tired from thousands of kick drum blasts,
Tired from bumpin the newest hip-hop & Rap night after night, They're just tired
and either need a recone, or replacement.

Either of which i'm happy to do. Them der subs owe me nothing.

LOL....I've only got the 15s (Black Widow speakers) and I'll bet they're that old also.. Buddy bought them used...used them in bars with bands and I bought them from him and have used them off and on for the last 3 years and they still kick butt...heavy and hard to move around but they still rock...
 
still use the same JBL's I bought close to 20 years ago!
never replaced a thing in them or had any trouble...
(except for the grills vibrating)
and I have NEVER been all that careful with them!

either Turbo makes cheap stuff...or...they're being beaten up.
to only get a few months out of them just seems odd.

and I am NOT suggesting you did anything wrong, Cam!

Even Turbos low end gear isn't low end!

Scott,

Turbo sound isn't an off brand by any means, and while the sound is great (and loud) they aren't Peaveys!:sqwink:

I never meant to suggest that Turbo is even close to an off brand. Just making the point that sometimes when people see big price differences while having the same specs, that the stuff typically doesn't hold up well from regular use.

Cam just doesn't strike me as someone that would buy inferior stuff just to save a few bucks.
